Ilo staled that tho cardinal principle of hia platform wan against tho State willing whiskey to make it* citizens drank. Ilo opposed higher education 1?(V tho Statu, but favored common school education because tho Stalo conld bettor give citizens ?uch education than individuals. Ilo opposed giving towns or tho country tny special privileges. Co mi in.; back to tlu whiukey question ho mid any thing almost would suit hint rather than the dispcuaaty law tut now en forced. 1 1 o excoriated "papauckei a, " who liko tho liiblical character had laid up goods fi>t years and said *o {themselves: "Wo'll cat, drink and l>e juiorry," but tho pooplo would say to them; "Thia ni^lit- thy soul shall I ,Vi (] u i rod of t hso " iMr. INI. li. t'l'ppcr, candidate for Lieutenant- ( iovcrnor, was no\t intro duced, who aaid ho had enlisted in the | Koform movement in lKSli mid hod j Iboon a cnnHintont 0110 over since. lie ftpoko of tho various conventions and i iiota of tho Kofonn party in which ho jtook ii prouiinont pait. Ilo referred his services in tho Legislature and < Constitutional Convention. lie stood squarely in favor of all existing insti tutions of higher loarning. Ilo did hot beliovo that all tho Ueforiu move- i Incut had done was right, nor did ho believe that a Conservative was not en- | titled to any consideration from tho ?Kofonn party. Ilo pimped on Mi. McSweeney for swinging on to Hurry ( limit's coat tail and how tho latter wan booming hia opponent, while the speaker had no aubsidi/.cd preaa or printing oflico to aouml hia praises and send them broadcast throughout the State. Col. McSweeney, tho other candi date, for tin* above honors, followed iMr. Coopor. Aa to it subsidized preaa Jio thought it not strange that the newspapers should apeak kindly of ^>i in. He ia a newapaper man and haa boon preaident of the association and if tlio tiewapapera could not apeak kindly of him he Would not run He is running on hia own merits and awiuging on no man's coat tails. His name was printed on badgoN hi Spar tanburg with thoaoof llvana and l-.ller he, for which ho wuh in no wiy re sponsible, but, however that may be, ho certainly waa in good company, lb1 praised tho Kofonn movement for having abolished barrooms, tho only party that had the eon rage to do"*so. Senator Harrison being next intro iluced expatiated on the fact that tin fertilizer tax was too much money for Clomson as it waa not needed. lie gnvo a detailed statement allowing that liiu county Dispensary idea would have all tho benefits of tin? present plan ami ?it tho aamo time be much cheaper. Local option, which he favors, would enable people to ?ay whether prolita should be made. That is a line point, he aaid, but lie could see no reason w hy a profit should not be made. ' Mr. Duncan was the lirsl Senatorial aspirant to be introduced. He used a portion of his time discussing the financial problem, holding that while free silver was necessary for 'ho bene tit of tho people, still he felt it linnec eesarv.to talk at lengt h of a nailer u poll which all are agreed. He said that ? lildgc Marie s candidacy was uufortii nato in that it brought out factional politics again and thus prevent in a measure tin- people selecting tho best man. Asa connection of his wile he regretted to have to allow up Ins other opponent. Ilo said lie hud never said one word against him that he hasn't proven from the records or from living witnesses. Ho read the record of (iovcrnor Kvaiis'a vote on the agricultural board when Tillman, Hligli, and others were candidates. Ho accused Governor Mvnna w ith hold ing n conference on .hinj 'J7 with Wehmann, Kroeg, Koestder and Stell nig of CharlcHton in order to get Con acryntive votes. lie nee. Is them, yet he trie), to utako Hcformc-rs believe that it in his opponents who arc trving J to get Cutisei ativo votes, lie jumped on Governor Kvans for receiving niouev I from the bond syndicate. That nun ! bo a fee, but tho people had to pav it i to the syndicate and ho should have j saved that much to the State, lie stud that Kvamt was trying to make it it p - j pear that- the speaker waa Irhv'a legatee. Irby whipped himself and I thin man deHervca a whipping. Ho understands, however, that Senator j frby waa now aorv ho had not made | tho race. Ho claimed that (iovcrnor Kvans's action at JJarnwell was an evi- ! tlenoe of guilt, when the rebate busi- ' iioss was brought up in Mixson's [ prosoucc. Govornor Kvans being next intro ! duood said that ho wished to preface Lis romarka with a personal statement. 1 He aaid: "At Florence T stated in re- j feronco to certain insurance in Ander* 1 eon, that if tho agent, Mr. Maxwell, ! j(*ftcr he r^eived notice that a lower j ftl%e could ho o))titincd on Diapensnrv 1 buaineaB, and ditln't ho inform the j authorities, that ho had robbed the : Stato.
